Cranberry Orange Muffins

- Originally submitted by Amy Carpenter

(adapted from recipezaar.com)

2 C. flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1 C whole fresh cranberries (if none available, use dried cranberries)
1 egg, beaten
3/4 C. sugar
3/4 C. orange juice
1/4 C. vegetable oil
1 tsp. grated orange rind (optional)

Combine dry ingredients. Stir cranberries into dry mixture. Combine wet ingredients, including sugar and orange rind. Add wet mixture to dry mixture all at once. Mix until moistened (12-15 stirs only--ovemixing increases gluten in the batter which creates a tunnel texture in the muffin).

Spoon into greased muffin cups. If desired, sprinkle with a little sugar on top. Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes until lightly browned. Makes 12-14 muffins.
